MGM Ironman starts this week!

MGM Ironman Starts This Week

 

Parma Rod and Gun Club in Parma, Idaho is hosting the annual MGM Ironman Competition to be held June 10 -12. 
“This is probably the toughest set up that we have had in the eleven years of the event. The competitors had better be in good physical condition and mentally sharp or they will find themselves at the back of the pack.”  Travis Gibson, Match Director.

“Most stages at any 3-gun in the country are over in less than two minutes, some in less than 40 seconds,” Gibson said. “We have an eight-minute-per time limit on each stage and fun and crazy stages. Shooting from the back of a moving pickup, shooting 32 birds launched from a trap house, shooting your pistol and shotgun while you are driving a golf cart, shooting your pistol while you are sliding down a 285-foot zip line, shooting your rifle from a 20-foot tower, shooting two match-furnished full-auto guns on a stage (in addition to the three guns that you brought with you), shooting bonus shots at 700 yards, honest to goodness home cooked meals included in the match fee, a surprise stage that includes a 200-yard run, shooting three pepper poppers in a row with a shotgun, each of which launches two clay birds 30-feet in the air (so you have six birds in the air all at once), shooting 75-100 slugs, out to 100 yards have all been features of previous matches. Everyone will shoot at least 900 rounds at this match, assuming that they hit every target with the first shot.”

Not shooting the match?  No problem…come on out and watch the action!  Many top shooters from around the nation will be there, including Mike Voight, Matt Burkett, Dustin Lohoff, Chuck Anderson, Pat Kelley, Dave Neth, and Kelly Beale.  A map to the range can be found on Parma Rod and Guns web site at www.ParmaRNG.org .
Mike Gibson, President of MGM, says “Anyone who has even a passive interest in the sport will be more than entertained at the amazing stages and talents that will be on display during this three day period.”  So come on out for what will prove to be 3 days of fun filled action!
